Issues of Importance:

Phasedown of HFC Refrigerants

• The HVACR industry needs Congress to pass HFC phasedown authorizing legislation in order for the industry to move to new refrigerants.

• The technology transition to new refrigerants will create 33,000 new U.S. manufacturing jobs, add $12.5 billion per year to the U.S. economy.

• Without Congressional action, states will create a patchwork of regulations that make it harder for distributors to operate.

Tax Cut Permanence

• The qualified business income deduction passed as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expires on December 31, 2025.

• The Main Street Certainty Act would make the qualified business income deduction permanent.

• The Restoring Investments in Improvements Act would fix a drafting error in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that prevents businesses from utilizing Qualified Improvement Property to expense improvements to commercial buildings.
